Hi Jan and smc folks,

We are delighted that IBM has entrusted us with greater responsibilities
in the SMC project. 

Over the past years, Jan has helped us achieve multiple pleasant
communications with IBM, and we are proud to have jointly implemented critical
features such as the SMCv2 protocol upgrade, loopback device support, IPPROTO_SMC,
and more. The stability and robustness of SMC have always been our top
priorities.

To be honest, the SMC community is currently relatively inactive, and addressing
this will be our initial priority. In addition, the future evolution of SMC will still
require sustained collaboration among all of us, let's keep working closely to
move SMC forward!

D. Wythe
